THE ROLE OF CENTRAL AUTHORITIES IN THE APPLICATION OF THE 1980 HAGUE CONVENTION ON CHILD ABDUCTION: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF A GENUINE AREA OF PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL LAW

 

Dr. Kutlay Telli [1]

 

Abstract

There is a widespread consensus that the Hague Child Abduction Convention of 1980 constitutes a comprehensive attempt at the international protection of children. This article mainly intends to provide a roadmap for Central Authorities regarding the return requests within the meaning of the Hague Convention. It also touches on the emerging challenges faced by the Convention system while achieving a delicate balance between the competing or joint interests of the child as well as the left-behind and taking parents within the context of grave risk exception.

In doing so, alongside with achievements made by Contracting States, this work will find a chance to make clear the overall handicap of the implementation mechanism. Lastly, it will be revealed that the translation of the Convention requirements into practice presupposes the full exercise of public power and the application of public international law norms, despite the Convention is a natural product of international private legal order.
